Dashboard Problems
I'm having a few problems with my dashboard.
When getting my new iMac, I decided that for the three times I probably used Dashboard on my PowerBook, it wasn't worth having open, running all the time. So I think I used an application or terminal method as follows to turn it off. (Thus saving me resources)
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
I now wish to use an internet radio widget, allowing playback of music whilst I continue with my work.
Opening Dashboard presents no problems, I can listen to the internet radio.
When I leave dashboard, obviously I would like all the widgets selected still running in the background - Unfortunately (this is on all accounts on my iMac) whenever I leave dashboard and go into another application, it closes it, along with my internet radio stream.
From the same resource ( http://face.centosprime.com/macosxw/disable-dashboard/)
I found the "opposite", enabling command for terminal;
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
killall Dock
However, this is proving unsuccessful.
I was pretty sure that just like the FinderGuy, Dashboard always has an "Open Indicator" at the bottom of in on the dock - Which mine doesn't. So I looked onto Apple.com to see an image of the dock;
http://images.apple.com/macosx/features/images/desktopgallery0120071016.jpg
Which clearly shows it without the Activity indicator.
If anyone could help me, it would be most appreciated.
